Re: [pygame] pygame for portable python
hi René, first, i introduce them to k-turtle, a logo variant and the probably most easiest way to get into programming. moving that turtle on-screen and drawing simple geometric things is quite intuitive. then, after 4 sessions ( 1 session per week) i switch to python using python portable. python portable is fantastic: i can put it on a network drive, they can put it on their usb-stick and do their homeworks where-ever they like and dont have to install anything. after some python basics (what is the interactive command line, how to print hello, how to add some numbers, how to calculate a mean value over numbers etc) i just start over with turtle using pythons turtle graphics. this is good - its a recapitulation and they might get the idea that you can do same things with different computer languages - so it doesnt really matter what language you actually speak. so - i understand your point that most modules are not yet python 3 ready, but i only use pyturtle and pygame. and its a very basic total beginners course, so they wont encounter any great differences between 2.x and 3.0 in codebooks, as i only teach very fundamentals like variables, loops etc. its a course for university freshman. ok, long writing, short message: i would need pygame for 3.0 in about 4-5 weeks. thank you very much !

(maybe i should just test instead asking ;-) ) thanks anyway for pointing me to the pgreloaded branch.
[pygame] pygame for portable python
dear list, i need pygame for www.portablepython.com i need it for teaching programming to total beginners. i choose python 3.0.1 version of portable python, because it avoids some problems that would confuse programming beginners ( for example the integer division problem) later in the course i introduce pygame and let them program a very simple breakout like game and a baloon pop game. question: is pygame already compatible with python 3.0.1 ? i tried installing the binary release: "pygame-1.8.1.win32-py2.6.msi ~ 1.4M (python2.5.4 is the best python on windows at the moment)" would it help if i would try a svn - nightly build version ? currently, i get the error message: "Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 248, in run_nodebug File "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\herc\Eigene Dateien\module1.py", line 2, in from pygame import * File "c:\PortablePython3\App\lib\site-packages\pygame\__init__.py", line 70 raise NotImplementedError, MissingPygameModule ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax" kind regards and thanks in advance !
